typically starts with an _). However, for some reason it cannot be
used in vim on vms.
Example:
:map _h :echo "hi"<CR>
In my gvim on Windows, when I create the mapping above, and then start
typing "_h", vim knows that "_" is the prefix of a mapping, so it does
not apply/type the "_" immediately. Instead, it cashes the keypress
and displays the "_" in the bottom-right corner. That means, vim is
waiting for the next key - if it is an "h", vim will apply the _h
mapping; if it is an "o", vim will type "_o" (since there is no
mapping for _o).
However, this does not work on vms: the _ gets applied/typed
immediately (it is not cashed). Thus, typing _h does not apply the
mapping, but performs the "_" action and then the "h" action.
